Opal Migration Australia have worked in the area of sport for a long time. We partner with professional sporting teams, competitions, and community clubs to bring sporting talent to Australia. Often, sports visas are required to be processed very quickly, with competitors and officials travelling around the world and being seconded at the last minute, so a professional migration agent is needed to facilitate the process.
With this visa you can:
- play, coach, adjudicate or instruct for an Australian team, or do high-level sports training with a sporting organisation
- stay for up to 2 years with members of the family unit

How long you can stay
- This is a temporary visa. We grant the length of stay based on the activity we approve you to do on the visa.
